The path to compliance
The path to compliance
Follow these steps in order. Repair alone is not enough. The retest and the accepted report are what close the failure.
01
build
Repair device
Use a tester or repair company that fits the local utility workflow and device type.
02

Retest
Schedule the passing retest after repairs are complete and before the utility deadline passes.
03

Submit report
The corrected report and proof of acceptance are what actually restore compliance.
Do not stop at the repair
- Arlington can require testing more frequently than the minimum annual rule when the Regulatory Authority deems it necessary.
- Using an unregistered tester or ignoring a repair order creates ordinance exposure, not just scheduling delay.
- Fire line repair work cannot be detached from approved fire line contractor requirements.
